  • Patent number: 8235435
    Abstract: A handle for a kitchen utensil or the like includes a hand gripping section having a rearward push/pull valley with a varying, substantially elliptical cross-section that forms a floor, a push slope tapering up and forward from the floor, and a pull slope tapering up and back from the floor. The radial cross-sectional area of an end of the pull slope and a radial cross-sectional area of an end of the push slope each are substantially larger than a radial cross-sectional area of the floor. The handle section further includes a ring stop section disposed forward of the push/pull valley with one or more concentric rings extending above a surface of the handle member. The kitchen utensil includes a blade mating section disposed forward of the handle section and configured to receive a blade.

  • Publication number: 20120180452
    Abstract: A combined emission control device and exhaust gas heat exchanger for connection to the exhaust gas flow from an engine of a motor vehicle is disclosed having a number of exhaust gas transfer passages and a number of coolant passages so as to permit heat to be transferred from exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas heat exchanger to coolant used to supply heating for a cabin of the motor vehicle. The exhaust gas heat exchanger includes a tapping to permit cooled exhaust gas to be extracted for use in a Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation system. The exhaust gas heat exchanger thereby provides dual functionality being able to recuperate heat for use in a cabin heater and cool exhaust gas for use in the Low Pressure Exhaust Gas Recirculation system.

  • Patent number: 7895000
    Abstract: An environmental sensor including an inlet and an outlet such that a flow of fluid moves from the inlet to the outlet, a particle detection portion to detect particles in the fluid, and a controller connected to the particle detection portion. The environmental sensor can be in communication with a data acquisition system (e.g., via a wireless access point) to form a particle counting system. Also disclosed are methods of operating the environmental sensor and methods of operating the particle detection system.

  • Publication number: 20070021838
    Abstract: A prosthetic articular surface for implantation in a joint such as the knee is provided. The prosthetic articular surface comprises a contoured plate having two sides, one side of which is a bone-contacting side and the other side of which is an articular side, and at least one post extending from the bone contacting side. A method of placing the prosthesis at an implant site, a guide tool for facilitating implantation, and a surgical kit containing the prosthesis also are provided. The prosthetic articular surface, method of implanting the prosthesis, guide tool for facilitating implantation, and surgical kit containing the prosthesis may be used to replace or augment a damaged joint in the knee.

  • Patent number: 6744148
    Abstract: A theft resistant vehicle system (10) includes a security system (12) adapted to generate a first control signal as a function of the substantial meeting of a parameter for activating and a second control signal in response to a failure to meet the parameter. An inverter (22) is adapted to receive the control signals and is adapted to deactivate in response to the second control signal and is further adapted to generate an alternating current power signal in response to the first control signal. An electric machine (24) is adapted to receive the alternating current power signal.
